244. There's an Old, Old Path

ENGLISH -
1 There's an old, old path
where the sun shines through
life's dark storm clouds
from its home of blue,

Refrain:
in this old, old path made strangely sweet
by the touch divine of his blessed feet.

2 Find the old, old path;
'twill be ever new,
for the Savior walks
all the way with you, [Refrain]

3 In this old, old path,
are my friends most dear,
and I walk with them,
with the angels near, [Refrain]

4 'Tis an old, old path,
shadowed vales between,
yet I fearless walk
with the Nazarene, [Refrain]

SPANISH -
1 Una senda hay, donde luz y amor
entre nubes brillan con gran fulgor,

Estribillo:
do camina el Salvador Jesús,
en la santa senda de vida y luz.

2 Senda antigua es; nueva te será,
pues el buen Pastor te acompañará, [Estribillo]

3 Cuánto estimo a los que en la senda van,
y en redor los ángeles cerca están, [Estribillo]

4 Por sombreado valle, en la senda voy,
sin temor, que al lado de Cristo estoy, [Estribillo]

FRENCH -
1 Il est un sentier, où le gai soleil
a la vie, rend calme sans pareil,

Refrain:
c'est un vieux entier, doux à marcher,
parce qu'aplani par les divins pieds,

2 Trouve ce sentier toujours frais pour toi,
puisque le Sauveur y marche avec toi, [Refrain]

3 Dans ce vieux sentier sont de chers amis;
j'y marche avec eux près de anges aussi, [Refrain]

4 C'est un vieux sentier où l'ombre fait peur;
j'y marche hardiment avec mon Sauveur, [Refrain]
